If they were appointed politically, they serve at the will of the administration. When that administration changes, they are likely to be replaced. They know that going in, but that has never stopped a few from crying "foul" when they later get dismissed.
I was thinking of people using law enforcement with partisan goals. Somebody else in this place called it lawfare. I like the term.
For a practical example, just check Spain. We have a "Governor" (not exactly a governor, but for the American audiences it will serve as an aproximation) from the People's Party (Christian demo-liberals). The national administration (Socialist) hates her guts so they have been trying to take her down by linking her to an irregularity regarding medical supplies her brother might have been involved with.
I am sure investigation will find _something_, but it is clear to me there would not be so much energy and effort poured into this if it was not a political process at all.
Then, conservatives started funding and carrying out investigations against the Prime Minister's wife for illicit abuse of power and traffic of favors, among other things, as a counter attack.
The fun part is socialists started screaming bloody murder because the only reason why they were after the Prime Minister's wife is because of politics, and that honorable politicians don't resort to those dirty tricks. Which is probably correct.
IMO a reason why Spanish socialists are getting nervous regarding this stuff is because conservatives have started using the immoral, dirty and treasonous methods only the socialist party used to leverage. Political lawfare is just one of them.
